As confirmed idlers themselves, they assured us their Glossary could provide \"everything you need to know about how to conduct a life.\" Today, however, as we recover from the worst global recession since 1929, the work-world is a very different place. In order to understand it better, our anti-capitalist etymologists are therefore putting down their cigars, picking up their shovels, and drudging out English from the ditch of corporate jargon. For anyone who's ever had to moil for high muckety-mucks, \u003ci\u003eThe Wage Slave's Glossary\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading--as the moral wit of Kingwell \u0026amp; Glenn is indispensable to the present age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoshua Glenn: Joshua Glenn is a Boston-based journalist and scholar.
